DO YOU LEASE YOUR HOME OR HOLIDAY HOME ON A REGULAR BASIS?

Leasing your owner occupied or holiday home on a short-term lease, could have implications to your insurance cover.  If you permanently rent out your property on short-term leases (for example Air BNB), your Insurance cover may be compromised.

If your Home is not insured correctly and a Natural Disaster event occurs, you could miss out on EQC cover and any top-up Natural Disaster cover provided by your general insurer.

EQC have stipulations and guidelines regarding occupancy.   If your home does not provide long term residential occupancy ie long term tenants and is used regularly for short term rental, your House should be insured as a Commercial Building.  

There are other exclusions under a standard Home policy including:

• Methamphetamine Contamination – this benefit can only be purchased under a tenanted property policy or Owner Occupied homes when the owner is away
• Malicious Damage and/or Theft
• Landlord’s furnishings
• Statutory Liability
